Google Sets a Date to Remove Google Assistant From Android Phones and Tablets Next Month
The Verge·medium signal
Google announced it will remove access to Google Assistant on Android phones and tablets starting next month, completing the handover to Gemini that began when Gemini shipped as the default assistant. The wind-down has been telegraphed for over a year, but this is the first hard removal timeline rather than a deprecation notice. Anyone with Assistant-dependent routines, Actions integrations, or smart-home voice flows now has a concrete migration deadline.
